Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 24 September 2024 – As Latin America and the Middle East navigate an
increasingly interconnected global economy, the SuperBridge Summit 2024 is set to play a pivotal role in
forging new trade and investment partnerships between these dynamic regions. Organized by the Dubai World
Trade Centre (DWTC) and the SuperBridge Council, this year’s Summit will convene business leaders,
investors, and policymakers to explore opportunities for deeper collaboration and to unlock the untapped
economic potential that exists between the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Latin America.
Recent data reveals a strong upward trend in trade between the GCC and Latin America. According to the
International Trade Center’s 2022 Trade Map, GCC countries exported goods worth $10.84 billion to Latin
America in 2022. These exports primarily consisted of mineral fuels, mineral oils, distillation products,
fertilizers, aluminum, and related products, plastics, and related items, as well as electrical machinery and
equipment. Conversely, imports from Latin America totaled 21.25 billion, with major items including natural or
cultured pearls, precious metals, meat, edible meat offal, ores, slag, ash, cereals, sugar and sugar confectionery.
